The study was conducted from March to June 2009, the farm Clean water in the municipality of Piau - MG. Nineteen Toggenburg goats were used, primiparous (n=9) and multiparous (n=10), with an average weight of 50 kg and body condition score between 2,75 and 3,75, distributed in randomized blocks, in order to evaluate the flushing effect of long chain fatty acid protected ruminant lipids (bypass lipids; MEGALAC-E®) on the return of ovarian activity and milk yield and composition. Flushing was given from the 21st day before to the 21st day after parturition. Treatment 1 received flushing in the pre- and post-parturition (n=4); treatment 2 received flushing only on pre-parturition (n=5); treatment 3 received flushing only on the post-parturition (n=5) and treatment 4 (the control group) did not receive flushing (n=5). Goats were fed four times a day, receiving corn silage for volume and experimental rations as a concentrate (with or without MEGALAC-E®, at 2% of DM). Several reproductive parameters were evaluated, such as: interval from parturition to the first estrus (IPE - days), interval from parturition to first ovulation (IPO - days), diameter of ovulatory follicle (DIAMF - mm), number of ovulations (NUMOV) and follicle size on the day of estrus (FOLESTRUS - mm); as well as productive parameters such as: milk yield (MY - kg), corrected milk yield for 3.5% fat (CMY - Kg/day), body weight (Kg), body condition score (BCS), milk fat content (FAT - %), milk protein content (PTN - %), milk lactose content (LAC - %), total milk dry extract content (EST - %); and also the production of the following milk constituents: PGOR, PPTN, PLAC and PEST (kg/day). There was no observed interaction (P>0.05) between the used treatments and the productive parameters related to flushing, but a correlation was found (P<0.05) with the lactation week as well as with MY (r = 0.24), CMY (r = 0.25), PTN (r = -0.22), PLAC (r = 0.23), EST (r = -0.23), PGOR (r = 0.18), PPTN (r = 0.23) and PEST (r = 0.24). There was no observed interaction (P>0.05) between the used treatments and the studied reproductive parameters, but important correlations between these variables were found. The values of IPE (days) from the animals were 20.5±2.2 (T1), 30.0±17.4 (T2), 20.2±2.1 (T3) e 19.0±2.5 (T4), and those of IPO (days) were 26.3±4.0 (T1), 22.4±3.3 (T2), 24.4±1.1 (T3) and 24.2±3.6 (T4) (P>0.05). The DIAMF (mm) values were: T1 (7.21±0.30), T2 (6.86±0.31), T3 (6.66±0.27) and T4 (7.32±0.64) and NUMOV were T1 (1.5±0.3), T2 (1.2±0.2), T3 (1.4±0.2) and T4 (1.0±0.0). A negative correlation (r = -0.68) was observed between ECC at parturition and IPE, as well as to IPO (r = -0.48). A positive correlation (r = 0.47) was found between body weight at ovulation and the NUMOV. In conclusion, the use of MEGALAC-E® at (2% of DM) was not sufficient to promote alterations in milk yield and composition and on the evaluated reproductive parameters. So, there is a need for more studies related to the protected fat inclusion in order to establish values that may improve productive and reproductive parameters of dairy goats.
